   Hi all the Talbot County  Bird Club walk  for  sun  May  21  had  14 
birders led by  Danny  Poet went birding around the kings Creek stream 
bottom and a grassland  and Shrubby area on North  Dover Rd near the  Easton 
sewage  pond . we had  a total of  62  species   and a great brunch at the 
nearby home of Karen And Bill Harris .     It was hard to get the birders  
to  stop birding after the Brunch  to do the tally ,  birds  were singing  
and  coming back and forth  to the feeders  .  In mid  tally a female  Rose 
Breasted Grosbeak  appeared in an oalk tree in the Harris backyard  , a wood 
Thrush feeding on the ground   in  the tomato patch .     Walk highlights
